Burning

my mother is a horrible person that
doesn't mean i have to be it also doesn't mean i should suffer her past
I AM FREE FOREVER AT LAST!!!

Slowly I am burning

With no one to trust

No one to love me

not one to care

i wish there was someone someone like me, someone scared someone who cared for the world and got thrown away in a twirl a scared girl who's hair doesn't curl i am burning but i am alive i am living living my mother's lies the way i have for 14 years finally i have the confidence the confidence: to switch gears

to leave her path to leave her wrath

to clear away my horrid past

but at last at last i realize it will always be

always be there in my heart

in my mind but it won't show all the time
